Solution

The correct option is C One-seventh

At birth, many regions of the new born's skull have not yet been converted to bone, leaving "soft spots" known as fontanels. It undergoes many changes. Due to this, the adult human skull is about one seventh of the total body length
So, the correct option is ‘one – seventh’.
